Travelling in the Hiace Towards my Hostel, a stop was made near a town called Sohawa, Pakistan. A black-beard, Well suited and Close-eyed person with a walking stick in his hand, caught my attention. He was walking towards our hiace. as he came closer, i realised that he was blinded. The conductor helped him to his seat, he gave Rs.10 as a fare to the Conductor and the Hiace moved on towards its Destination.
After a while, that guy began to speak. He said that he had been blinded for over 8 years. The doctors had Entitled this blindness as permanent. He added that his Father was a Deaf and half-paralysed Old man, while his mother was a Sugar-patient. He had no siblings at all and the 3 of them were living on rent in Gujar Khan, Pakistan. He ended his speech with a Call for Help.
As he became Silent, everyone helped him Monetarily. After Pondering over his Sad story, i too gave him Some Rupees.
As the Journey Continued and Gujar khan came Closer and closer, i was totally engulfed in his story. A thought Struck me.

"What if he was Lying or Pretending to be so?"
but then an inner Voice answered my question.
"You Shouldn't be bothered about that, Its your intention to help that matters and not the reality of his story"
What if He was lying? He cant definitely deceive The Almighty Allah, for Allah Knows the truths of the Universe and everything within it.
Our Niyyat is what matters. In the World hereafter, Allah will certainly reward those Who would have helped such people and believed their stories to be true. And for those "Pretenders", Well Allah Almighty knows best what He will do with them.
After this Dialogue between me and Someone Within me, the Hiace stopped, the man Left his seat and Was helped by the conductor towards the Sunny Footpath, while i kept staring at him till he vanished in the crowd at the Bus stop.
